Would Gordon Brown Deny the Muslim World the Right to live in a Caliphate?
London, UK, September 25 – On this morning’s BBC Today program, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown said the threat of terrorism comes from those who aspire to “building a Caliphate” in the Muslim world. He also refused to accept the role of western foreign policy, including the invasion of Iraq in fuelling “terrorism” even though this was the conclusion from of a US government report on the effects of the Iraq war.
Western leaders including Bush, Blair and Putin, have unleashed a propaganda campaign to malign the work in the Muslim world for establishing Islamic governance, the Caliphate, by equating this with violence and terrorism. In a speech on 16th July 2005 , UK Prime Minister Tony Blair unconditionally condemned the call for "one Caliphate of all Muslim nations".
Dr Imran Waheed, a media representative of Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain , said, “Muslims the world over wonder how long western governments will remain in denial about the role of their policies in causing instability, violence and turmoil."
"Brown's comments about the Caliphate are yet a further evidence that western governments are intent on their continued support for the dictators and tyrants in the Muslim world. The caliphate is the legitimate aspiration of millions around the world and will bring stability to the Muslim world which for too long has been ravaged by militant colonialism."

9/11 : There are no "Islamic terrorists" in the Middle East.
It is not, in the least, hyperbole to say that the Fundamentalist Muslims fighting us today are sacrificing their lives for their brothers and sisters; they are heroically defending their homelands, their cultures, and their religion, from the corruption, crime, and decadence intrinsic to Western capitalism as we know it.

President Hologram and the Triumph of Public Relations
All tyrannies are similar in one respect; they require a steady flow of propaganda to promote the interests of the state. That same rule applies to dictators, whose “strongman image” is vital to the maintenance of autocratic government and must be supported by a “cult of the personality.” This is particularly true of George Bush, who has been the centerpiece of the most prodigious public relations campaign in American history.

The Sound & The Fury - An Interview with president Hugo Chavez
I believe words have great weight, and I want people to know exactly what I mean. I'm not attacking President Bush; I'm simply counterattacking. Bush has been attacking the world, and not just with words--with bombs. When I say these things I believe I'm speaking for many people, because they too believe this moment is our opportunity to stop the threat of a U.S. empire that uses the U.N. to justify its aggression against half the world.
